Windows Insiders can send and receive texts on Skype for PC

USRobotics announces new Skype base station, handset

Today, USRobotics announced its newest Skypified pair of products, the USR9630 Cordless Dual Phone and the USR9631 Accessory Handset. The dual phone, as the name implies, plugs into a USB port and a landline and can make and receive both Skype and traditional phone calls. The base station, which comes with one handset, goes for $120, and an additional handset will set you back $70, assuming of course you're a Windows user (sorry, Mac support is forthcoming).

Update: USRobotics just told us that Mac support would be coming in Q1 2007.
